For Good

It is 7:15, Sunday morning, January 15, 2012. I just unpacked my monitor and am breaking in my new office. One of the cats is back to her intermittent exploring while the other is curled up on the familiar old sofa.

In some ways, it is hard to believe that everything came together so quickly. I only first looked at this place on December 31st – only decided to take it on January 2nd. Since then, five rooms and a long hallway were cleaned up, repaired, and painted – thanks to my friends who are now my neighbors.

The biggest reason to tell you about this experience is because it is an example of how manifestations works. When it’s right, it’s right and there is evidence everywhere.

I never mentioned this before, but I had been wanting a new place to live for almost two years now. I even took to actively looking for a while, but nothing turned up. The energy was just not there then. As Abraham would say, I was not a vibrational match to what I was looking for. So I let it go trusting that when I was, the Universe would let me know.

And it did. The last Thursday of the year, I noticed the sign out front. There was no information other than a phone number. I called out of curiosity and, as they say, the rest is history.

But here is the icing on the cake. Yesterday right around noon, the moving truck was packed up and we were ready to roll. My truck was also stuffed, so much so that the cats were stacked one crate on top of the other in the passenger seat next to me. The 2.8 mile journey thus began.

Now, 2.8 miles doesn’t take long. In fact, it is about a 2-song drive. I was playing Pandora and the first song that came on was one that I hadn’t encountered before. It was a modern version of an old song. With the cats mildly complaining, I started singing the familiar words. And then it struck me! This is what they were saying:

After commuting from my old place to my new place every day for two weeks, I was told to come back and stay for good this time, which is exactly what I was doing!

And who says the Universe doesn’t talk directly to us – in words?!?!

A big reason I set down the path to do the work that I now do is because of examples like this. I have experienced Universe communications like this for many years. I have been shown over and over again that no matter how rough it gets, there is always the other side. We are always guided. We are always accompanied. Spirit can’t take away the challenges we create for ourselves, but they can guide us through them, help us get as much out of them as we can, and then assure us that it’s all going to work out.

December 2011 was one of the most difficult months I’ve lived through in a long time. And at the very end, a gift out of left field fell into my lap. In this new home, I now have one room as a dedicated office, for writing and creative work, and another room that will be dedicated to healing work and readings. This is the vision I’ve had for years and this is what has arrived.

And notice the words chosen by the lyricist of that song:

“Come back and stay for good this time…”

I never thought about it before, this alternate meaning of good. “For good.” It’s a double entendre! Come back and stay – for good.

Last week, I said there are no permanent addresses; everything changes. But there’s always for good!
